Harland and I worked together for many years at ABX. I am shocked and deeply saddened by his passing. We made many road trips together to Israel and Portugal. He was a great, great guy to know and work with. I retired from ABX in 2009 and lost track of everyone, but stumbled across his obit. I'm still in shock as I type this. Please let me know if there is a service in the spring. My deepest condolences to the family. He was special!!
